Journey to the West: From Fish-Chasing Boy to the Boundless Heavenly Venerable of the Golden Palace

"The river water is so cold, oh dear~ stop fooling around."

"Hehe~ It's raining."

"I told you to splash me with water, so I'll let you splash me again."

"Ah~ Please, please have mercy."

"Stop fooling around, you're getting your clothes wet... Ah, you little sluts, why are you coming at me?"

"If it gets wet, we can take it off and wash it together."

"Pah, who wants to wash with you guys?"

……

On the west bank of the Tongtian River, several women were washing clothes with washing sticks. While playing around, they got wet in the river, so they simply took off their clothes and washed them with the other clothes.

A dozen meters underwater, Li Yue stared blankly at the white, human-shaped figures on the shore.

Whoosh!

A moment later, it swam upstream, flicking its tail, and was only a dozen meters away from the woman washing clothes.

The fish had a large clump of purple seaweed in its mouth, which it chewed and ground, squeezing out a purple juice. The juice flowed down and inevitably stained the clothes the woman was washing.

The purple hue had faded to a lighter shade due to the diluted river water, and with the women's playful banter, no one noticed it.

After washing her clothes, the woman casually hung them on the reeds by the riverbank to dry, and then went to rest in the woods naked.

The midday sun was strong, and by the time they returned, their clothes were completely dry.

They put their original clothes back on, put the rest into the basin, and carried them around their waists as they chatted and joked their way back to the village.

Li Yue quietly peeked out from the water, and in the sunlight, a faint purple stain appeared on the woman's clothes.

one two three four……

Li Yue counted them, flicked his tail, and returned to the bottom of the water.

As the sun gradually sank in the west, it eventually disappeared behind the western mountains, and night once again enveloped the Tongtian River.

As usual, Li Yue drove the fishermen to herd fish, partly to improve his rank as a fish-driving boy, and partly to earn offerings of blood food.

As night deepened, the fishing lights on the river flickered sporadically, and there was no light on either bank.

Two or three miles away on the west bank, a small village of two hundred households is nestled among the mountains.

Working at sunrise and resting at sunset, the villagers turned off their lights early and went to bed.

"Hmm~"

In the deep silence of the night, a soft hum suddenly pierced through the window.

In the simple bedroom, a small bed was placed against the wall, and the reed mat on it was soaked with sweat. A woman tossed and turned in her sleep, gradually squeezing her legs together.

As it twisted and turned, soft hums escaped from deep within its throat.

A short shirt was draped over the headboard. Under the moonlight, a faint purple stain was visible on the hem of the shirt. It belonged to one of the women who had gone to wash clothes by the Tongtian River during the day.

[Perform the divine duty of the Dream Weaver once!]

[Current progress 1/10!]

Just as a group of fish were herded into the fisherman's net, the warning sound rang again.

"Got it."

Upon seeing the notification, Li Yue's eyes lit up with joy.

This acacia plant is indeed effective!

The so-called "love algae" is a type of purple algae that grows at the bottom of the Tongtian River. It has a bitter taste and is not palatable, so even the most undemanding crucian carp will not touch it.

However, some aquatic creatures who know how to make medicine will occasionally collect some to use in their medicine.

The so-called longing is actually spring longing, which can make people feel the stirrings of spring feelings.

Li Yue used two pig legs to obtain this information from the herbalist.

To obtain the divine title of Dream Gentleman, one must have a woman enter one's dream, and it must be a erotic dream.

Li Yue, a mere newly awakened carp spirit, had no such supernatural powers. After much thought, he could only help with medicine.

"Although that old tortoise was greedy, he was still trustworthy and didn't lie to me."

Li Yue nodded secretly, and breathed a sigh of relief.

If the acacia oil is ineffective, it will be much more troublesome for him to find another medicine.

Although it has only been completed once so far, if it can be completed once, it can naturally be completed ten times, it will just take more time.

Relieved, I stopped thinking about it and continued to drive the fish away for the fishermen.

After working for several hours, Li Yue disappeared into the water at dawn.

Last night I gained nearly fifty experience points, almost double the usual amount. This was partly due to the help of an extra water ghost, and partly because the reputation of the fish-driving boy had spread, attracting more fishermen to call upon him.

At this rate, although the experience points required to level up will increase, it shouldn't be long before I reach level 15, at which point I can obtain another supernatural power.

In addition, the divine duties of the Dream Lord were performed twice last night.

Li Yue remembered that he counted very clearly that there were more than two women whose clothes were stained with the juice of the acacia algae. Perhaps the medicine was not effective for everyone, or perhaps the other women had only stained a small amount, so it was ineffective.

Let's not delve into the details; as long as it works, that's fine.

After a short rest, Li Yue immediately swam towards the west bank.

It's just the two banks of a river, but you should know that the Tongtian River is 800 li wide. Even the fish that are as swift as arrows in the water would take two or three hours to swim from the east bank to the west bank.

When they reached the west bank, it was almost noon. They found the same women washing clothes by the water, and Li Yue did the same thing as before. He chewed up some acacia plants upstream and mixed the juice with the river water to soak the clothes they were washing.

After doing all this, Li Yue did not linger to observe any further. Instead, he swam straight to the middle of the river and did not return directly to the east bank. He was only two or three miles from the shore when he surfaced his head and began to cultivate by absorbing the essence of the midday sun.

After finishing its cultivation, it swam back to the east bank before nightfall, its fins never stopping.

The name of the fish-driving boy was only known on the east bank; the fish-women on the west bank were unaware of it, and naturally no one called him by name.

In other words, the area where the fish-driving boy's divine duties can be performed is only in the waters of the eastern shore.

That's true, at least for now.

As a result, Li Yue hardly gets any rest from morning till night.

"No, no, that won't work."

After chasing fish twice, Li Yue was exhausted and went to rest at the bottom of the water, leaving only the water ghost to continue chasing fish.

The Fish Chaser is already at level 10, so there's no real rush to level up further; health is the most important thing.

The notification sound kept ringing in my sleep.

Besides the fish-driving boy, there are also hints about fulfilling the duties of the Dream God.

As the night passed, he fulfilled his duty as a dream lover four more times. It seems that a woman who had been intimate with him the day before was now experiencing arousal in his dreams.

"Soon."

At this rate, he should be able to complete ten Dream Lord duties in another night.

Upon waking in the morning, Li Yue felt full of energy and joy. He couldn't help but shake his body, stirring up a series of bubbles that rose to the surface of the water.

After swallowing and refining the offerings of blood and food brought by the water ghost, it swam back to the west bank and spread the loveweed.

……

[Perform the divine duty of the Dream Weaver once!]

[Current progress 10/10!]

On the third night, just past midnight, as the notification sound rang again, just as predicted, the requirement to fulfill the duties of the Dream God ten times was achieved.

Whoosh!

Deep within the sea of ​​consciousness, the talisman of lust appeared, and the pages of the book turned without wind. Skipping the first page and turning to the second, the image of a handsome man slowly emerged. He was dressed as a scholar, with slicked-back hair and a powdered face, and he was holding a bright peach blossom in his hand.

[Acquire the divine title of Dream Gentleman!]

[Unlock the Dream-Entwining Branch, a magical artifact for the Dream-Loving Man!]

The notification sounded again and again.

At the same time, a text message appeared next to the image of the Dream Man.
